J.H. Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Mu favorite disappointing match remains the Mutoh/Chono "BLACK SUMMIT" match at the Tokyo Dome. First they announce tbe match like 2 months early when Mutoh is IWGP champ, I think Chono is getting a much deserved 3nd IWGO run. Tben Mutoh drops the belt to Tenryu to set a defense against Sasaki. Thus we get NBM Mutoh wrestling Chono to determine who leads NWO Japan. I really thought Mutoh and Chono would bring their A Games but instead they have the world's dullest 40 minute match... AT THE DOME! Fuck Chono tried but sometimes Mutoh just gonna Mutoh. The point of this is... I LOVE CHONO! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian_Waffle Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I figured the Takayama match would get posted pretty quickly. Still my favourite Chono singles match, although I'm sure he has some monsters against Mutoh and Hashimoto and the like that I've never seen. Here he is teaming with Misawa in a ridiculously good tag team match against Kobashi and Akira "When Do I Ever Not Steal the Whole Fing Show" Taue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltzer shat on it and the crowd was definitely burnt after the epic All Japan tag but I thought it was very solid. The show is still online so skip to the end of the entire five hours (!) if you wanna give it a shot. Dammit, now I'm gonna have to go watch all the shootstyle and Joshi matches I neglected on there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian_Waffle Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm tempted to just hunker down with a couple boxes of oreos and watch the whole damn five hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I watched about 1/3-1/2 of it. The Good: UWFi tag (very inspired. Gary Albright was a hell of a tag worker) All Japan tag (well, just lookit the lineup) M-Pro tag (them in their early whimsical phase but still fun. Good crowd reaction) IWA Japan tag (sloppy but what do you expect) Main Event The Bad: Onita vs. Pogo (terrible, just the absolute pits) The Ugly: Ryuma Go vs. Crystal Lake Space Jews (???)

ohtani's jacket Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 How there can be a Chono thread with no mention of his breathing sounds? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Dome show match, so this might be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
